Re: pics of Onyx..(WARNING...if a lotta legs creeps you out!)
rec g, look no further than your local Petco or reptile show. You can get one for about 10-$15. If you don't mind shopping at your local Petco, one can be apec. ordered for you if they don't have any in stock. Setup for these guys is quite simple, a tank,tub,or critter keeper will do. A small(shoebox size) tub i have found works the best, with just small holes drilled. They like it moist, so that's why I think the tub works best. I use forest bed or peat for the substrate, with a half log or two(to chew on) and a small cave hide to curl up in. For food, all kinds of leafy greens are accepted,baby ears of corn, squash,peas,tomatoes,chick peas,and broccoli are good choices.(RAW) One thing to keep in mind though, unlike our snakey friends, they like it cool. So, if your herp room is on the toasty side, your little many legged friend won't be very comfortable.

Oooooh!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET PEDE!!!!!!!!!!!
They are *so* easy to breed, too, if you ever get the notion...and do extremely well in planted vivariums! I used to have a big colony of them, prior to moving North...fantastic bugs & just so much fun!
And they luuuuuurve cucumbers, to boot. You know, which is a sign of eternal coolness. Or something along those lines.
Fab pics - thanks for posting them!!!!

Nah....mexican red knee tarnatulas have been known to go 30+
Nice pede. I had pedes for a while, but I just wasn't as interested in them.

Re: pics of Onyx..(WARNING...if a lotta legs creeps you out!)
yes, schlyne, tarantulas do live a very long time, but i wouldn't consider them bugs....more like arachnids....some people class them together into one category of 'bugs' when "loosely" speaking of things with more than 4 legs, but me, I cinsider them to be totally different, as i have a chilean RH, and I just love her! she is a great spider.
